Elduc in 2000
Love in 20th century is entirely different from when Marie De France lived. In her time, she wrote a sweet story of two women who love the same man, Eliduc. He leaves his wife, Guildeluec to go fight in another country even though she is devastated by his decision. During his excursion he ends up with a younger woman named Guilliadun. The two fall madly in love. Ultimately, Guildeluec detects the affair and behaves with not a shread of jealousy or desire for revenge. The way she tells the story is surprisingly peaceful considering Eliduc lies to both women. However, my version of Eliduc, is written in 2000 mode. The society has metamorphosed into a chaotic blend of moral dysfunction. Many are unwilling to mend broken relationships. Instead, they choose to lie, cheat and deceive those who have been faithful and true to them. The repercussions of these betrayals are far more nauseating than Guildeluec's reaction to Eliduc's affair. Beware, if you loved Marie's version this might be too intense for some readers. First, the names of the characters are a bit more modern t
Eli answered, "I am going away for a while. I got a job offer in the South. Gail shrieks, "what do you mean? You know I can't leave this hospital because of my contract. You're just going to take off on me?" The chief welcomed Eli because the city had an immense drug problem. Suddenly, the alarm sounded in the station! There was an emergency; a riot had broken out in a dangerous section of the city. There was a shortage of officers on duty. Eli jumped in a cruiser and sped off to find the violators. Later that week Jill came over to Eli's and the phone rang. Startled, Eli answered, hoping it was a telemarketer or anybody besides Gail. The call was not Gail, rather his old chief, begging him to come back home. Fighting the urge to say "no way, *censored*," he said he would return. He could not be disloyal; it was his duty. The next day, the chief came up to Eli and told him Jill would like to go on a date with him. Ecstatic inside, but not showing it, he accepted. Later that night when Jill called him he felt the butterflies flying around his stomach. He thought of the last time he felt that way for Gail; he tried to recall the feeling but he couldn't. Eli flew up the stairs with two other cops. Horrified he screamed and cried, holding Jill's delicate, pale body. All he could do was rock back and forth, not paying attention to anything but Jill. Gail has been tossed to the back burner and has felt the heat because Eli was cold and distant. He never called her; and when she called, the conversation would be abrupt. Gail knew something was going on. She was not simple by any means; actually she was quite cunning. Later that evening, after dinner, Jill wanted to go to a bar to have some drinks. Eli decided the bar was a good idea. The whole time the two of them were fixated on each other. Gail never once entered to Eli's mind. He decided that Jill was his true love. "I guess there is nothing I can say to change your mind", she says. "I'll be here when you're ready to come home. I love you too." At the scene, blood was everywhere. People were screaming and crying. The protestors were spewing vulgarities at the policemen. Eli witnessed two officers go down, and many of the other cops hesitated to break up the chaos. Eli took action and planned a route to raid the rioters. It worked. Eli attacked the leader; scrambled, fought, and clubbed the drug dealer until he was under Eli's control. Since Eli apprehended one of the biggest drug dealers in the city, everyone on the force praised him. Actually, the chief was so happy he wanted to celebrate that night by having a party.
